"While Mohamed Salah's Liverpool future remains in doubt, his legacy at Anfield cannot be questioned. And if Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton does prove to be his last game for the Reds, he has managed to break one final record. Once taunted as a Chelsea flop before he revived his career at Fiorentina and Roma, the Egyptian now stands alone as the player with the most goal involvements in Premier League history for a single club."
"Having come on as a 26th-minute substitute - his first appearance since claiming he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club last week - his corner was headed in at the back post by Hugo Ekitike on the hour mark. Salah's 277 goal involvements (188 goals, 89 assists) for Liverpool meant he moved above former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney (183 goals, 93 assists) in the standings."
"Liverpool parted with 34m to sign Salah from Roma in 2017 - a fee that now seems like peanuts after his jaw-dropping 364 goal contributions in 421 club appearances in all competitions (250 goals and 114 assists). After an uninspiring two-year spell at Chelsea, few would have believed the 33-year-old would go on to break countless records, win eight major trophies and become a Liverpool icon. He scored just twice in 19 appearances for the Blues before he joined Roma in 2016 after a loan spell with them, and fellow Serie A side Fiorentina. Following his return to English football with Liverpool, Salah has certainly made his mark. The phrase "Only Mo Salah" frequently does the rounds on social media to highlight his exceptional and often unique achievements."
Mohamed Salah's future at Liverpool is uncertain, yet he achieved the record for most Premier League goal involvements for a single club. He registered 277 goal involvements for Liverpool (188 goals, 89 assists), surpassing Wayne Rooney's totals. Salah entered as a substitute and provided a corner leading to a goal in the match referenced. Liverpool paid 34m to sign him from Roma in 2017. Salah amassed 364 goal contributions in 421 club appearances overall (250 goals, 114 assists). His career includes a difficult spell at Chelsea, revival in Italy, and multiple major trophies and records with Liverpool.
